What is q Bohemian ?

There has been considerable discus
sion at time and another as to the
traits and qualities which go to make
up a social bohemian. A fashionable
lady once, in describing to another her
idea Of the genus, said with ready
tongue: "Yo1 are a bohemian when.
you are dirty and lazy and your clothes
are old" Perhaps this description fits
the popular conception, but it is to be
commended for its epigrammatic quail
ity rather than its absolute accuracy.
The truth is that there are bohemians
and bohemians and that not all Of them
can be said to be either ragged or de-
ficient in personal cleanliness. II an
artist or a literary person is sufficiently
improvldent he may be a bohemian, or
he may be ONT by simply neglecting the
usual social forms and loafing and
dreaming with his pipe. Some contend
that an enlarged faculty for drinking
beer is an essential, and there have
been circumstances which went to sup
port that view. It is told, for instance,
Of q most gifted bohemian living in
New York that, in answer to the ques-
ton, DO you drink much beer Pr he
replied, mo, not much; there isn't
much in the city" But undoubtedly
there are pretty wide limits in which
one may be a bohemian, and no habit
is m absolute condition.-Harper's

kro C0rsets Beneficial

More mon die OF consumption than wom-
en- and it has been attempted to explain
this by supposing that corsets help to
maintain q healthful condition OF the lungs
because they restrain abdominal breath
ing and compel chest or rib breathing,
causing a better ventilation of the upper
portion of the lungs, or those two apices
OF the lungs which might be called attics
where dust accumulatss and decay begins,
but If cersets do have any beneficial effect
in this way it is probably more than coun-
ter balanced by the evil effects of their COM
preston OF the vital parts below the dia-
phragm. The stomach, liver and spleen
are organs no less important than the
lungs and to crowd them out OF place or
impair their functions by tight corsets will
inevitably produce diseases as serious az
consumption. As there is often a spirit OF
good in things evil, corsets may not be an
unmitigated nuisance, and indeed much
depends upon the style and how they are
adjusted, but the more they are 30 adjust.
ed az to compel chest breathing, the more
certain they will be to produce disaster
somewhere below the chest. The best way
to induce chest breathing and ventilate
cvery portion Of tho lungs is by rapid ex.
ercise or by enforced deep respiration
practiced once or twice daily.-Dr~ Foots

Miss Reed folded up the letter and
put it soberly into her jacket pocket.
She had scarcely realized before how
much she had been counting upon 1t.
There was nothing left now but to put

to smile. There is some nearer

Mrs. Steward laid down her pen aud

AS Barbara crossed the hall to the
school-room that afternoon she en-
countered Mr.. Lawrence. He was
standing at the table buttoning his
light gloves. She saw at the first glance
that Mrs. Stewart had told him of hel
disappointment. She hesitated one
instant, then went straight up to him.
''You see I am not to come into

Value of Land in London.

From the London Times.
A site vas offered for letting on
building lease by auction recently at
the Mart, which illustrates the great
value OF land in good positions in the
city of London. The site in question
is that now occupied by the old build
ing IA, Is and 16 st. Swithin's Lane,
embracing q total area of 2,O3e feet,
having a frontage to st. Swithin's
Lane of 63 feet I inches, and a 'front.'
age to Salters' Hall court in the rear.
This was offered to be let for q term
otsOyears, and attracted considerable
interest and much competition. The
biddings commenced with an offer of
$500 q year, and ultimately reached
e1,120 a year, the lessees to rebuild
the premises and to expend not less
than $1,000. It was understood in
the room that the site had been
acquired by a bank, but whether for
the construction of banking premises
or as all investment did not transpire.
The price agreed to be paid represents
a rental OF just a little over lis. per
SQUARE foot.

He Answered the Advertisement.

There is a good story about an old
gentleman who had been accustomed
to go to Europe every year with an
old crony as a travelling companion.
One year his friend died and was &C
cordingly unable to come. The old
gentleman, after much thought, in
serted an advertisement asking anyone
who wished to go to Europe under
pleasant auspices to apply to him, and
giving his address. This ADVERTISE
ment vas seen late one night by a
young man who had been dining free
ly. He cogitated a while, and then
told the club porter to call q hanson.
The cab was procured, and with a little
muscular exertion on the part of the
porter and cabby the young man was
slowed away in its recesses. He told the
man to drive to the address given in
the advertisement. Arrived there he
was assisted to the sidewalk, and with
much dignity ordered the cabby to
practice on the bell and knocker of the
o~ld-fashioned residence. The advcr-
tiser stuck his venerable head ont. of
the window, and after a parley con-
Quoted with explosive indignation from
the window and unruftied assurance
from the sidewalk the ancient came
down and unbolted the door. When
he had picked up the diner and stood
him in a corner the following CONVEX

you mean by waking me up at this

That hastes Its needs to tell;
And so I reason, that In spite
OF present darkness, esrthly blight
There is q bright lsad.
Where keener 8 ana vision DrignI
Shall prompt my ssul with radiant light
ssTo see and uDderstand.n
